10-144 CMR c. 261, Immunization Requirements for School Children

Date posted:

Attachment(s):

The Maine Center for Disease Control and Prevention within the Department of Health and Human Services is proposing this routine technical rule change jointly with the Maine Department of Education to amend Immunization Requirements for School Children rules. The proposed rule does not make any changes to required vaccinations but updates the vaccine schedule to provide additional guidance related to the minimum time required between vaccine doses and to enable students who “catch up” by completing required doses to be considered immunized under the rule. The schedule aligns with United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention guidance. The proposed rule adds physician associates (formerly known as physician assistants) and other individuals authorized to administer vaccines to the list of individuals who may supply a school with proof of immunization. It also clarifies recordkeeping requirements to promote compliance with Maine’s school immunization laws.
